iQ2300 to reduce uncertainty about the future of the East Antarctic ice sheet

18 Dec 2025 iQ2300 to reduce uncertainty about the future of the East Antarctic ice sheet

One of the most serious impacts of climate change is global sea level rise. When glaciers and ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica melt, sea levels rise. To calculate how sea levels may develop in the future, researchers need better knowledge of the rate at which ice mass is being reduced – especially in East Antarctica, where large knowledge gaps persist due to its inaccessible location.

Snow that determines future sea levels – measurements in Antarctica to improve climate models

How much snow falls over Antarctica – and where it ends up – may sound like a detail. But for researchers trying to understand future sea levels, it is a crucial piece of the puzzle. During the iQ2300 2025/26 expedition, fieldwork is being carried out in Dronning Maud Land, where data is being collected to improve climate and ice models and thus provide a better basis for long-term societal planning.
